793-4 D. IMPOSING AN IPV DISQUALIFICATION PENALTY
The Claims Unit in Juneau plays a key role in implementing the IPV disqualification. The Fraud Control Unit and the Administrative Disqualification Hearing Officer send disqualification hearing decisions and hearing waivers to the Claims Unit. The Claims Specialist notifies the caseworker of the disqualification start date, the length of the disqualification, and which EIS notice to send the individual. The caseworker may not take action to disqualify an individual until instructed to do so by the Claims Specialist.
